Why peroxide based washing fastness is carried out for dyed goods?
A. Washing detergents contains sodium percarbonate, sodium perborate and TAED based oxidizing agents. These oxygen based oxidising components imparts relatively mild oxidizing effects on dyed goods. Though it hardly interact, chromophore of the dyestuff may affect over a repetitive washings. ISO 105 and ISO 105-109 are the testing methods for testing fastness to peroxide based washings.
